Finally getting some pics up of the new bars I installed over the winter. Bars are Wild1 with stock risers. Minimal clearance on the left and the throttle cable does hit the tank, just have to watch it careful. Going to stay like this for this season. May switch risers to 6 or 8 inch. First ride out was 200 miles for breakfast…and so far it was pretty comfortable
Thanks to $pringer, 97FXSTSB, and skullhead for the inspiration. Also thanks to everyone in my “goofed up wiring” thread for the info on getting everything straight.

Thanks for the compliments. It felt good to go out and wrench again. I got spoiled...but now I am trying to do all the work I can.
HarleyCanada: The bars are wild 1 chubby drags for springers. Model number W0512. The drag bars with the integrated riser for 299 should also work with stock cables (from what I have been told). But these definately do. Actually they come out a little mong, so I will probably redo the cables soon too.

Got a set, and they are now on my 04 Springer! Could not be happier!!!!!!!!!!!! Only thing is had to do a quick mod to back a small bracket to bring the front signals out forward a bit, so they would not hit my tank on both sides!!!!!! Dig'em! Thanks so much for your help!

looks great. what's the width on those?
I'd also probably go with the 6" or 8" risers (like you're considering), but I'd also
probably look for a bit more pullback. I guess you can get a little more pullback
depending on which risers you end up going with?

I did that exact thing a couple of weeks ago. Tomorrow I'll see if I can take some pics and post them for you. I really like them with the pull-back risers.
